CONSULTANT, REACT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
UNITED STATES
The Save the Children REACT Fellowship Program has been established with the
goal
of increasing the organization¹s capacity to respond to children¹s needs in
emergencies.
The REACT Program will create a cadre of bright, enthusiastic and
specialized young
professionals who can quickly and successfully be deployed in humanitarian
response
programs. The proposed structure of the fellowship consists of: 1. Two-week
orientation. 2. Six-week Home Office placement spent working on
professional
development plans and shadowing their designated mentors within the Division
of
Humanitarian Response and other key technical departments. 3. Six-month
field
placement where Fellows will work alongside an emergency response
professional, who
will coach and support them. Fellows will be recent graduates from leading
post-
graduate programs in international humanitarian response, development and
other
related degrees. Special efforts will be made to recruit Fellows with
specific operational
and/or technical skills and knowledge (e.g., logistics, health, nutrition)
by targeting
highly specialized institutes and graduate degree programs. Acceptance into
the
program will be highly competitive and the screening process rigorous. The
individuals
admitted will be those who possess a solid theoretical foundation, but who
require
practical field experience in order to become humanitarian professionals in
emergency
contexts. Fellows will be selected on the basis of academic grades,
experience (if any)
and interviews conducted by a panel consisting of staff from the Division of
Humanitarian Response, Human Resources and key technical staff from relevant
departments. The REACT Program will provide an opportunity for Fellows to
gain
formal training at our Home Office and hands-on experience working in
Country
Offices. The program will mix structured workshops, self-motivated learning,
coaching
and mentoring and one six-month placement with a Save the Children Country
Office.
Country Office placements will be selected based on a number of criteria,
but those in
an emergency or post-emergency phase, or those country programs with a large
disaster
preparedness focus, will likely be targeted first. During the field
placement, each
Fellow will be assigned a mentor. The mentor will work with their assigned
Fellow to
enable them to complete two or three practical assignments while in the
field; this will
build technical skills and form a basis for performance evaluation. TO
